Description

Subject Area: Criminology

This course will take an authoritative overview and analysis of issues of assessment, treatment and management of dangerous offenders. It will take particular account of policy and legislative issues and developments at an international level and address wider issues of risk and dangerous offenders in the context of the risk society. The course will also question the relationship between the assessment, treatment and management of such offenders, and consider who it is appropriate to involve in this process. The course will take a multi-disciplinary approach to the assessment, treatment and management of violent and sexual offenders, and extend its coverage to include the issue of stalking. Issues around diversity will be considered throughout.
